And who votes for these things?

Many years back, I had hoped that the internet would be a forum where folks could openly and frankly exchange view and ideas. While that is true in most respects, the mask of anonymity has been used more as a sword than shield. People freely hurl invective from behind their electronic scutums without much fear of any appreciable consequence. If there was a way to hold them up to greater approbation for their comments, then we might be able to inject some restraint and circumspection back into the discourse.

That’s what Charles’s stick is for. Which is why we can conduct such conversations in the LGF oasis.
